Narrative:

I was landing at sez on a VMC; calm wind day. There is only one runway 03/21; which is 100 ft wide; 5;132 ft in length and about 90 ft higher in elevation at the northeast end then the southeast end (a 1.8% gradient). Landing is usually on runway 03 since it is uphill; unless the wind dictates otherwise.I called my inbound positions at 10 miles and 4 miles as I approached the airport from the west. I called my right turn onto 'right 45 for a left downwind runway 3; sedona.' I called my left base turn runway 3 and saw the runway was clear. I called my turn to 'final runway 3' and saw the runway was clear of traffic. On short final; the runway was still clear. I put in full flaps and began by final descent to the runway.at about 20 or 30 ft and descending; I was surprised to see the shape of an aircraft in takeoff position at the other end of the runway. My first thought was that he decided to taxi into position and was holding; not a smart thing to do. I glanced at my airspeed indicator which read about 65 mph with just a few feet before runway contact. When I looked back at the runway it became obvious that he was actually on the roll. I immediately called 'traffic departing sedona airport; I am landing runway three and heading straight for you.' I was now on the runway and a go-around was not an option.the other aircraft remained on the centerline at full power. I don't think he saw or heard me. I moved to the edge of the runway to avoid contact and visually monitored his wing tip location. Finally; at my 1 o'clock position and about 150 to 200 ft away; he abruptly lifted off the runway. He apparently saw me at that time. I did not think at any time that we would actually make contact since he had a high wing and I have a low wing; but I expected him to move off centerline; which he did not do.I exited the runway at the next available intersection and stopped the aircraft. I called for a radio check and a pilot responded; 'loud and clear.' I started to taxi my aircraft and decided to call the pilot who verified my radio check and ask him to identify himself. He came back with an identification. I thanked him and proceeded to my hangar. I still did not hear any radio transmission from the pilot that took off.I believe that the lack of radio communication on the part of the high wing aircraft pilot was the major factor. Not sure what was going on there.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: After transmitting all appropriate CTAF advisories prior to landing on Runway 03 at SEZ; a PA28 pilot was confronted by an opposite direction takeoff by a high wing aircraft. The PA28 pilot took evasive action on the runway as a go-around was not a viable option. The departing traffic; appearing to see the the other aircraft at the last possible moment; rotated abruptly and passed overhead the reporter.
